Cuenca is another town made for a couple seeking the perfect stage for a romantic destination wedding in Spain. It is most famous for its buildings that appear to hang in the air over a steep gorge. A magnificent Gothic cathedral, first stop on the honeymoon of recent newly-weds Crown-Prince Felipe and his bride Leticia Ortiz, takes pride of this place. Set in the forested hills just outside Cuenca is an extraordinary geological phenomena of natural stone sculptures deserving of the name "Enchanted City".

Near Cuidad Real one can still see windmills like those at which tragi-comic Don Quijote ‘tilted’. They are set in the rocky plain, an other-worldy place of austere beauty that has changed little since the time it served as battlefield between the African Moors and reconquering Christian knights. The landscape, rugged canvas to a thousand shades of sun, is dotted with the ruins of chivalrous time.
